Sony’s Headphones.
In pursuit of perfection.
Imagine a complete, soundproof, and acoustically
perfect sound studio
Imagine how pure and beautiful your music would sound in
a studio without the intrusion of external noise. Now imagine
that this studio is light and small enough that you can take it
with you anywhere. Impossible? Not with Sony’s remarkable
new headphones. The innovative Noise Cancelling Circuit
reduces external noise by approximately 80%, and the sound
remains pure and clean even at low volumes. Never again
will noise from airplanes, air conditioners, buses, trains, or
the neighbours next door get between you and the music.
Don’t let the blare of the outside world pollute your music
any longer. Try Sony’s Noise Cancelling Headphones: the only
sound studio you can wear.
The anti-noise wave
The secret of Noise Cancelling headphones is a pair of
tiny microphones, one on each headphone. These “micro-
microphones” pick up ambient noise from your listening
environment, analysing its particular wave forms. The Noise
Cancelling Circuit then produces an “Anti-noise” wave with
inverse or opposite properties. When the external “noise”
wave and the special “Anti-noise” wave are combined,
they cancel out each other, producing the golden sound
of silence. With approximately 2/3 of external noise
reduced, your music will sound purer than ever before.

measurement
